The chilly weather and sun setting early might mean you’ll be spending more time indoors, but you can only binge-watch TV and scroll on your phone for so long. While scrolling through social media, you may have come across posts about people’s favorite hobbies, such as crocheting, knitting, or scrapbooking. However, these “grandma hobbies” are simply traditional, creative, and hands-on activities that are perfect for getting out of the cold.
